I updated the driver for my HD 8650 and ever since then it's doing this weird thing where dark content on the screen gets darker if a bright window (like an empty notepad window) is placed next to it. This is in Windows 8.1.
I booted into Xubuntu on the same hardware and the effect was gone, so it's definitely the Windows driver, not the display and not my eyes.
Anyone else seen this?

Sounds like some dynamic brightness setting turned on somewhere.

I've been poking around in the catalyst control center and there were two suspicious checkboxes checked but they were under the Video playback section. ("Color Vibrance" and "Brighter Whites")
I misspoke (typed) - I have an HD 6850, not an 8650, and this part has been put on legacy support and no new drivers will be released. I rolled back the driver and the problem went away. Though now I'll be getting crashes from shitty Guns of Icarus Online...
